MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 12, 2022
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Anissa Hollingshead, City Clerk
RE: Leadership Planning Team (LPT) Meeting
Mayor Jeni Arndt, Mayor Pro Tem Emily Francis, City Manager Kelly DiMartino, City Attorney Carrie Daggett,
Interim Deputy City Manager Tyler Marr, and City Clerk Anissa Hollingshead met on Monday, September 12, 2022.
The following summarizes the discussions that began at 7:45 a.m.
9/13/2022 Work Session:
The published agenda for this meeting was reviewed.
• This work session will be occurring as a hybrid meeting, with Councilmembers present in person in the
Colorado Community Room at 222. Dinner will be prior to the meeting in 222, and representatives from
CSU attending the work session as part of the report from the interim president are invited to join the
Council.
• Logistics for the meeting include having service area directors and department heads attend for offers
within the outcome areas included in this agenda. There will be additional space in the 222 building
available for staff to wait for their outcome area, so staff in the room is comprised of those relating to
the outcome area being discussed. To minimize shuffling between tables during the work session, staff
will remain at their seats when responding to questions. Things will remain nimble -- in the event that
does not work well, staff answering questions may need to join the Council at the table if that is
determined to be helpful. Any additional program staff from departments should participate remotely in
the meeting.
9/20/2022 Regular Meeting:
The draft agenda for this meeting was reviewed.
• This Council meeting will be a hybrid meeting, with Councilmembers present in person in Council
Chambers. Public participation for the meeting will be available in four ways: in person, by phone, online
through Zoom and by email.
• The planned consent calendar was reviewed. There is also a community report at this meeting from the
Platter River Power Authority. Representatives from PRPA will be invited to join Council for dinner ahead
of the Council meeting.

• There was a question about the appeal process for a historic preservation related item. Attorney
Daggett clarified process-wise appeals are handled the same across different subject matters. It is the
issues that are before the Council in this determination that are substantively different rather than the
process.
• Mayor Pro Tem Francis noted Councilmember Pignataro will take the lead in making the motions
normally made by the mayor pro tem at this meeting.
6-Month Calendar:
• Upcoming meetings were reviewed with particular attention to any shifts. No additional changes were
noted.
City Clerk Hollingshead:
• No additional items
Interim Deputy City Manager Marr:
• Wellington is beginning a transit pilot program between downtown Wellington and downtown Fort
Collins, with service beginning soon. The City’s only contribution to this project is space at the
Downtown Transit Center for drop-off and pickup. Staff is optimistic this could lay groundwork for a
more robust regional connection in the future.
• Reminder of the Linden Street block party this Friday evening to celebrate and demonstrate what that
street can be utilized for now that the project is completed.
City Attorney Carrie Daggett
• No additional items.
City Manager DiMartino:
• Met last week with Latino and BIPOC community leaders in order to build direct access and
communication with the City manager. Good conversation occurred on historic practices, and how to
ensure a welcoming inclusive environment in community spaces. Will be continuing meeting on an every
other month basis.

• Regarding Hughes, provided an update that we are nearing a place where that deal will be finalized.
• Noted she will not be at the October 4 Council meeting, and that Interim Deputy City Manager Marr will
cover the meeting.
Mayor Pro Tem Francis:
• Noted she will be gone for the next two LPTs, and others will be attending in her place.
Mayor Arndt:
• Shared regarding an interesting invitation to a regional group talking about minimum wage in Northern
Colorado. A regional approach makes sense and would like to see someone attend to see what this
coalition is talking about. Staff will coordinate this attendance.
Meeting adjourned at 8:14 a.m.
